Sinking Conscienc.
The strongest evidence that the
managers of- the amendment cam
paign m the last legislature did not
have faith that the white people of
this stste would favor the suffrage
amendment Avas the. passage of a
strictly partizan election law. They
annulled a non-partizau law and
enacted one such as few States in
the union have ever had oh their
statute books. The majority of
white voters in this state over the
colored Vote is hot far from one
i hundred thousand. Then why
should a measure intended, as its
campaign managers claim, strictly
to benefit the white people need a
crooked election law to engineer it
through? . There are three political
parties in this state, and each lias
had equal representation on all the
boards of elections until the legisla
ture of 1899 enacted a law that de
prived two of them of representa
tion. .Now there a -state board of
elections composed of live persons

to say that men who would enact

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washixutox, July, 28, 1899.
President McKinley will enjoy his
well-earned vacation all the more
because of the knowledge that he
left public business in a very -satisfactory
condition.-; lie has secur
ed a man for Secretary of War in
the person of Hon. Elihu Root, who
will take charge of the department
August !, against whom no word of
criticism has been Said even by his
partizan opponents. Secretary Hay
has succeeded in getting the troub
lesome Alaskan boundary question
fairly on tbe road to an early di
plomatic settlement; more than half
of the volunteers wanted for the
Philippines have enlisted, and Gen
eral Otis has cabled that so many
of the volunteers, already . in the
Philippines wish to reenlist that a
third regiment two have already
been enlisted Can be enlisted from
them. The length of the Presi
dent's stay on Lake Cham plain

Kcprtttmrftndis, of IndT
irTiaJ" 'who was in Washington this
week, looking after some business
for his constituents, said of the sit
uation in his state "Our people
are too well satisfied with the pros
perity under this administration to
desire a change. Everybody is
happy and prosperous. . Farmers
are paying off their mortgages and
loanimr money. . iney nave seen i
that the price of wlmit is not de
pendent upon the price of silver,
and they have abandoned the belief
that free coinage is necessary fof

i spoke lelt in the wheel of their
political chariot I do not know it.
I don't believe one hundred demo
crats w ill march to the same music
in anjr county in Indiana. Expan
sion is very popular in Indiana, es
pecially among the country people.
The" farmer generally likes to hold
on to all he can get, and he carries
that idea into national matters.

days this week, and nothing but
favorable words are heard from
those who met him .
The slight changes announced
this week in the plans of the battle
ships Maine, Missouri aud Ohio,
now in course of construction, by
the Navy -Board of' Bureau Chiefs,
were not made necessary by errors
in the original plans, as the yellow
jourrals insisted (upon publishing.
They were made dimply to increase
the efficiency of the vessels, by giv
ing them a speed of 18 knots, in
stead of 16, as under the original
plans-; The contractors agreed to
the changes aud made valuable
suggestions to the board. That is
the whole story.
The originator of the story that
Secretary Gage was not legally
Secretary of the Treasury because
he owns stock in the Chicago Na
tional bank of which he was presi
dent before he entered the cabinet,
ought fo hire himself out as a finder
of mare's hests. - Tnere is no law
debarring holders of National bank
stock from becoming Secretary of
the Treasury, and as a matter of
tact there has probably not been a
Secretary of the Treasury since the
national banking law was enacted
who did hot own some of this stock
for the very simple reason . that it
would be almost if not quite impos
sible to find a man coinpetent to dis
charge the duties of the Secretary
of the Treasury who does not hold
a financial interest, if not an active
connection, with a bank. He must
be a financier, and the ablest finan
ciers of this and all other countries
are found in the banking business.
Uriiiistone Cures Diphtheria.
A few years ago, when diphthe
ria was raging in England, a gen
tleman accompanied the celebrated
Doctor Field on his rounds to wit
ness the so called "wonderful
cures" which he performed, . while
the patients of others were dropping
ou all side's. All he took with him
was powder of sulphur and a quill,
and with these he cured every
patient without exception!, that is,
he put a teaspoon ful of Hour of
brimstoue into a. wine glass ot
water, and Stirred it -with his
finger instead of a spoon, as sulphur
does not readily amalgamate v.itn
water, and on the sulphur becom
ing well mixed he gave it as a gar
gle, and in ten minutes the patieut
was out . of danger, as brimstone
kills every species of fungus in
man, beast and plant in a few min
utes. Instead of spitting out the
gargle, he recommended the swal
lowing of it, and, in extreme cases,
in which he had called just in the
nick of time, when the fungus was
too nc.Wiy-vlosi ng to allow the gar
gling, he blew fhesmpVjVX through
a quill into the throat, aud aft(4 the
fungus had shrunk to allow it, t hen
the gargling. He never lost a pa
tient from diphtheria: Or if the
patient cannot gargle, take a live
coal, put it on a shovel and sprinkle
a spoonful or" two of the brimstone
at a time upon .it, let the sufferer
innate it, holding the head over it
and the fungus will die. London

A sensible negro preacher iii the

An exchange, taking up the ser

The negro is a born farmer and
agriculture suits him better than
any .other occupation. Herein is
one field at least in which he has j
an equal chance with the white man
and in which there can be no pos

The People Improving.
Certain readers of The Post in
these parts were no doubt chagrin
ed as well as shocked by the state
ment in 'yesterday's issue that the
Southern Railway Company had
increased the wages of certain of
its employees and would soon in
crease those of others, to a late
generallyequal, in some particulars
higher than ever before in use on
this company's line, or those which
now compose its properties. Yet
this advance has been made by the
Southern and voluntarily, too. No
strike has been threatened, this
great Southeru corporation aud its
employees get along harmoniously
together, and, as conditions justify,
each considers the othFs interest.
We congratulate the employees,
as well as the Southern; we con
gratulate our people that their con
dition has so improved that the in
creased receipts of the company
justify it in increasing the wages of
those whose faithful work enables
it to give the snperb sarvice now
enjoyed by the people who have to
patronize it. Without this im
proved condition of the general pub
lic, the income . of the company
would have continued contracted,
which of course Would have kept
the wages of the employees down.
The public, therefore, whose in
creased patronage has made this
voluntary increase of wages possi
ble deserve to be congratulated
along w ith the wage-earners and
their employer, the company
And mind, there has leen no ad
vance in rates for freight or travel.
The increased business, which jus
tifies this increase of wages is the
direct result ot the service on
the part of the company, and
the improved condition of the gen
eral public, whose condition, first
and last, determines the ability of
this aud all other compruiesof kin
dred character to pay either good
or low prices.
The Post rejoices at the prosper
ity of this and all other corpora
tions and enterprises, knowing, as
we do, that their improvement orj
prosperity means a corresponding
improvement and prosperity of th6
people. The one cannot possibly
occur without the other. Raleigh
Post, 29 th.

The. Raleigh Post says tht mar
ket value of the American wheat,
corn and oat crops for 1890 would
be, according to government esti- .
mrtes ovor l,roo,ooo,000 at pres
ent prices. And the cotton crop,
at present prices, will add sonic
30,)00,000 more. Our farmers
will have something to live on, at
least. Eighteen hundred millions
of dollars for one year's product of
corn, wheat, oats and cotton, even
at present prices, show what a stu
pendous people we are.

Bnrdcttc gives good advice, a
follows. "There are young men
that do not work, my son; but the
world is not proud of them. It doeti
not know their names, even, it sim
ply speaks of t hem as old so-and-so'M
boys. No lKlnMly likes them, no
body hates them; tlie great busy
world docn't even know that they
are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, son, and take off
your coat and make a dust in the
world. Tlie busier you ar, the less
devcltrv vou will Ik? apt togetiuto,
j the sweeter will be your sleep, the
